5.1 Training and Skill Development
Industry wide flexible, accessible and innovative approaches to skill development will enable the building and construction industry to react positively to the changing demands of the workplace, and provide opportunities for the workforce to obtain nationally recognised qualifications.
By integrating training and skill development into management processes and project management, enterprises can positively react to changing knowledge and skill requirements. Compliance with policies such as the State Government Building and Construction Contracts—Structured Training Policy (10% Training Policy) on Government projects is a major step in the training process. Service providers are expected to implement a systematic and rigorous approach to training and skill development.
Training and skill development on construction projects will be based on:
- compliance with the Government’s relevant training, skill development and equal employment opportunity policies for the construction industry;
- training for the next generation of construction employees;
- commitment to skilling workers to support technological changes;
- equal employment strategies in non-traditional areas; and
- commitment to training, which leads to nationally recognised qualifications.
